Incapacitants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Incapacitants (インキャパシタンツ) are a Japanese noise music group formed in 1981. It consists of Toshiji Mikawa and Fumio Kosakai, whose stated aim is to produce "pure" noise, uninfluenced by musical ideas or even human intention, using primarily feedback, vocals, and various electronics.
[edit] History
The group was formed in 1981 in Osaka, Japan, as the solo project of Mikawa, a member of the noise improv group Hijokaidan. Mikawa, a bank employee, later moved to Tokyo, where he joined with government office worker Kosakai (also an occasional member of Hijokaidan, as well as a former member of C.C.C.C.) to make Incapacitants a duo. Because of their day jobs, Incapacitants have rarely been able to tour abroad from Japan. Incapacitants are counted among the most well known of the Japanese noise bands formed in the 1980s, along with such names as the aforementioned Hijokaidan and C.C.C.C., Boredoms, Solmania, The Gerogerigegege, Merzbow, and Masonna.
